transition
I have 2 businesses. Pour Over The Rainbow & Closet In Hawaii. Both have worked for each other, but mostly, Closet In Hawaii helped me finance capital for Pour Over the Rainbow.
I needed funds to pay for my life & get the trailer, And now that I did, I just created a full time coffee job for myself, meaning to serve coffee 40 hours a week.
Last year, I was dividing myself in 2 places serving coffee and doing Closet in Hawaii. It was some of the really rough months of my year. It wasn’t sustainable. I had to re evaluate my moves. I had to focus on what gives me stability. And so, I decided to focus in HPP, the location I’ve been more consistent with, while serving 5 days a week now.
Although my life requires less movement now, I find myself very limited with time. I am having trouble finding time for Closet In Hawaii. The amount of responsibilities for the trailer is just getting started, and it has been a challenge. My head says, stabilize POTR so you can work on the Closet. But then, I pause for a second and think… why do I want to make time for CIH when I’ve been aiming for the day to have to let it go?
I know. It took me almost 3 years to earn 10k followers. It took alot of dedication & discipline to be consistent. But mostly, it was the drive for my coffee business that kept it alive.
I know. It has given me money to keep me alive & to build a brand. But mostly, I wanted people to know that my service is reliable.
I know. I am good at it, I built it, I just can’t let it go. But again, CIH was simply part of my process, and not the end goal I was building my life for.
I know. Not alot of people could’ve achieved what CIH is & that I am lucky to have a business that runs. But then again, when I pour my heart & soul onto something that love, I go above and beyond with my output.
At the end of the day, I think to myself… What could the results be if I gave my 100% to Pour Over The Rainbow. I’ve thought that to myself for the past year. I’ve been wanting to be full time to the business that will sustain itself in the next years. And now, it has been tough because my work schedule has changed and my priorities are shifting. I’ve prayed for this, and in order to get where I want to be, I have to be smart with how to handle my transition process.
It’s tough. It really is. I have to remind myself, that transition means growth.
Just gotta put faith in it.
